I was going to point out that this is sports, not world-changing events. Fans are allowed to like whatever thay like. Some people enjoyed this article and others didn't. Then I noticed that it was posted by sfts2. Per his comments on prior postings, you all should realize that only his opinions have any meaning. The rest of us are dumb asses.

So democracy sucks, ahh? Did you vote for Kerry by any chance? A truly worthless comment:

Off-topic

Inflammatory

Meaningless drivel

Humourless

Congratulations, zippinglou! As a retort, I'd respond : "Maybe he did vote Kerry, but the Diebold machines converted it to Bush!" Back on topic... As Tubby Fan said, voting by fans tends to be a bit on the erratic side. Everytime I see injured players getting votes for the all-star team, it just reinforces the silliness of applying any importance to a "fan vote". Throw in the fact that it was online, and it's just that much more inane ("Vote early! Vote often!").

zippinglou - I merely point to every All-Star Game in every sport as proof that mass fan-voting sucks. Also, your election is a great example. But let's not quibble here. No I did not vote for John Kerry. However, not all of us were in the position to do that. See my profile for details. So in conclusion: *BELCH*.

I merely point to every All-Star Game in every sport as proof that mass fan-voting sucks. Yeah, whoever said that any sport needs fans is an idiot. Nobody cares what the fans think. That's why television will never spend millions (or billions) of dollars to show games; nobody would watch. That's why there will never be radio stations and entire sections of the newspaper devoted to sports. Whoa, whoa, time warp.
